Initial Setup for Turbo Chain
Select the Head switch, Tail switch, and Member switches
in the chain.
Configure one port as the Head port and one port as the
Member port in the Head switch, one port as the Tail port
and one port as the Member port in the Tail switch, and
two ports as Member ports in the Member switches.
Connect the Head switch, Tail switch, and Member
switches as shown in the diagram.
Connect the Head switch and Tail switch to the other
network to form the redundant chain.
The path on the Head port is the main path, and on the Tail port is the backup path of the Turbo Chain. Under
normal conditions, the packets will be transmitted through the Head Port to the LAN Network. If any Turbo
Chain path is disconnected, the Tail port will be activated to resume communication.
